Post office basically sells stamps and hands stuff over to Royal Mail who delivers them.

They are separate entities, they have been since Royal Mail was privatised. Post Office Limited runs the offices where postal and other services are provided/sold, including those of Royal Mail. Royal Mail Limited runs the postal service which moves and delivers the letters and parcels.

What a completely unnecessary division of labour and commerce.
Privatisation sucks.

I’m not sure I agree with this statement.
Our post office allows you to post packages with several different postal networks, including Royal Mail and Evri.
By decoupling the shop from the network, they can now do more without the conflict of interest from Royal Mail.
